Elearn Geometry Problem 78
Click the figure below to see the problem statement.
Zoom complete Problem 78 Angles in a circle, Perpendicular lines, Congruence, Midpoint, Perpendicular bisector. Level: High School, SAT Prep, College geometry
I solved this question drawing two parallels lines...Just similarity! i would like to know what happen when A and B are the same point (AB=0), i have no geometric solution for this case!
Just similarity or maybe..... congruence. If AB = 0 (A,M,B are coincident points) the given condition OM perpendicular to AB changes to OM perpendicular to Line(2). The solution could be the same.
AO,BO cuts the circle at Y,Z AC*AD=AY*AO=BZ*BO=BE*BF---(1) AD cuts BF at X XC*XD=XE*XF---(2) line FCH cuts ⊿ABX, by Menelaus' Theorem XF/FB*BH/HA*AC/CX=-1---(3) line DEG cuts ⊿BAX, by Menelaus' Theorem XD/DA*AG/GB*BE/EX=-1---(4) after simplification, we get HA*AG=GB*BH and hence yields the result
Hi my name is André, i dont speak english...To solve the problem 78 is needed any non-euclidean geometry? I have no solution to problem 78! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Andre,
ReplyDeleteYou only need Euclidean Geometry. Level: High School.
Good luck!

AO,BO cuts the circle at Y,Z
ReplyDeleteAC*AD=AY*AO=BZ*BO=BE*BF---(1)
AD cuts BF at X
XC*XD=XE*XF---(2)
line FCH cuts ⊿ABX, by Menelaus' Theorem
XF/FB*BH/HA*AC/CX=-1---(3)
line DEG cuts ⊿BAX, by Menelaus' Theorem
XD/DA*AG/GB*BE/EX=-1---(4)
after simplification, we get
HA*AG=GB*BH
and hence yields the result
Formula 1 is not completely exact. I suggest:
DeleteAO cuts the circle at P and Y, BO cuts the circle at Q and Z
AC*AD=AP*AY=BQ*BZ=BE*BF
